We all know that George will have to leave office in 2008, but we now are starting to see the preparations for the coronation of JEB. Anyone who considers JEBs qualifications will point out the lack of foreign policy experience (Cuban/American issues excepted, of course). But that is being addressed as we sit here today.
The preparation: Make JEB a pointman on Tsunami relief. He is travelling with Colin Powell to the devastated areas as part of the officiealUS Government Delegation. This will be something that he will point out in the 2008 or 2012 campain.
Jeb Bush said before leaving Miami, "I know the president has deep concerns about what has happened and the fact that I am his brother symbolically may underscore his deep concern."
What he hasn't said is that he is paying special attention to the names of the leaders in the countries he is visiting. We all know that people gave his brother a pass on not being able to name leaders of other nations in 2000, JEB may not be that lucky so he is doing his homework now.
